Caring For Your Anger In a Healthy Way - Members Only Ep. 139

Awareness that heals. Episode 139 welcome to the second Meditation on Caring for and responding to our anger or related feelings. So the first step is always awareness. And for most of us, we really don't understand how vital it is that that awareness is really focused on in a stable way while we identify or while we're experiencing anger or the related feeling that you have chosen. So again, go back to your experience of your anger or the related feeling that you choose that you feel is most relevant in your life that's repeating or is currently happening. So just take a few seconds and be generous with yourself and let yourself feel that feeling as fully as possible and stay aware. So you might say, anger, I see you. It's fine. I see you. I'm aware of you, I'm feeling you. Once you really stabilize the awareness and your experiencing of the anger, then you're ready for the second step. And the second step is going inside yourself and really asking the question. It's kind of an absurd question, do I want to find a way to care for myself in a healthy way while I'm feeling this anger? And of course you do. You don't want to reject yourself. You don't want to condemn yourself for feeling angry. You want to find a way to be supportive. I want to find a way to be able to look for a way of being with the anger where your own attitude is accepting, is tolerant, and is allowing the anger to be there. So you're giving yourself messages like anger. I want to find a way for you to be a servant in my life. I want you to find a way to serve my life. Just pause here. You're aware of your anger, you're experiencing your anger, and you find this other place that says, of course I want this anger to serve my life.
